Adaptive Neural Network Iterative Sliding Mode Course Tracking Control for Unmanned Surface Vessels

open access: yesJournal of Mathematics, 2022
In view of the problem of course tracking control of under-driven USV under complex external environment, the adaptive control law is designed by constructing an iterative sliding mode function and using Lyapunov stability theory on the basis of the ...

A New Understanding and Modelling of TSP and BP Indices Compared to Safety IMO Ship Requirements

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Due to the lack of information about the concept of Tons of Steering Pull (TSP) of many escort tugs, and the lack of research works relating the TSP demanded by a tethered vessel with respect to the TSP provided by tugs, the present paper shows an ...
